SetWindowcolor one parameter or two

[TexasPete]

I have been looking at the SetWindowColor. The examples I have seen are for the following
SetWindowColor window,rgb(128,200,100). In the users guide it appears that it allows for foreground and background.
When I enter something similar to following SetWindowColor window, RGB(128,123,134),RGB(200,234,200)
I then try to compile and I get an error. Am I that dense? What is the proper way to set foreground and background

Don't know what made you think you can set foreground and background colors using SETWINDOWCOLOR.
From the EBasic Help file:

Syntax

SETWINDOWCOLOR(win as WINDOW,colr as UINT)

Description

Changes the background color of a window.

Parameters

win - Window

colr - New background color

Return value

None

Remarks

None

Example usage

SETWINDOWCOLOR mywindow, RGB(0,0,0)

Maybe you were confusing it with SETCONTROLCOLOR

Syntax

SETCONTROLCOLOR(win as WINDOW,id as INT,fg as UINT,bg as UINT)

Description

Changes the color of a control.

Parameters

win - Window or dialog containing control.

id - Identifier of control.

fg - New foreground color.

bg - New background color.

Return value

None.

Remarks

The foreground color is used for the text color in most controls. @SYSBUTTON controls do not support color changes. Rich Edit control have their own text coloring functions.  Checkbox and radio button controls with the style BS_PUSHLIKE do not support color changes.

See Also: CONTROL

Example usage

SETCONTROLCOLOR mydlg, 7, RGB(255,255,255), RGB(0,0,0)

Larry thanks, I must have been confusing it with setcontrol. I am switching over from liberty basic and I need to think a little differently from lb syntax.
I am playing around with eb and as I do I am finding out that it is a much more powerful language. It actually is a lot better than lb.
Sincerely,
